September Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Sept 5th for me.... 2 weeks and having meatloaf for dinner? OMG! Tonight I had 2 very tiny bites of meatloaf- made me queasy:-( decided to just go with a lemon Italian ice instead. Was able to drink a glass of Water today too. Loosing a pound a day and down 40 lbs total since surgery. I'm one of the unlucky ones. Boy do I wish I could drink more- I'm so thirsty:-( most important is I need to get some protein!!!

I'll be 4 weeks out Thursday - tried a smashed avocado yesterday, which made me sick. I eat only what's on my plan list. Very frustrating. I do ok with fluids, and bought a cup that shows how much to drink before X time. Hopefully it helps. String cheese works well for me.

Just an update to my fellow September sleevers.

Today I'm post op day 39, and had my follow up appointment #2. I got the clearance to eat anything I want, no restrictions. Yay. :)

I'm currently eating a balanced diet ~600-800 calories, moderate carbs ~50g. I was told I am healed & can't hurt my sleeve at this point, and that even if I get sick (which I haven't) or pressure in the back of my throat, I can't hurt my sleeve. I got the usual reminder to eat Protein first, and always eat some Protein during my Snacks as well. Example, cheese with my watermelon. Hmm, what else? Oh, my incisions are completely healed, I'm using Mederma advanced on them, once a day. No clue if that's a good product or not. Hope all is well with you.

2 weeks for me today. Lost 29 pounds since preop. Scars still hurt a little, solid BM. Hiccups gone, finally met my Protein goal today. Struggling with fluids, have been promoted to mushies- anything I can mash with a fork, using Patches for supplements. Over all feeling pretty good. Everyday it gets a little bit better.

4 weeks out as of today. Is anyone else just not hungry? I'm not sure if I shoukd eat regardless - every paper says not to, common sense says not to. But 400 cal a day for a month can't be good?

You need to eat or supplement with Protein Shakes. You will destroy your metabolism staying at so few calories.

4ozs at this point is the maximum- you don't have to have that much. Just make sure to get in all your Protein and don't keep calories low for long.

Unfortunately, the Protein powder drinks still make me nauseous...i cant afford the ready made shakes right now...my fav is Premier Protein, but no money to get...????????????

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
